As someone who loves Love, making romantic plans for V-Day is always a favorite activity of mine. But what to get the Valentine who seemingly has everything? Especially since the perfect gift for this occasion should be thoughtful, not overly extravagant, and something the recipient wouldn’t normally buy for themselves. I’ve been hunting down the most beautiful tokens […]
If you’ve ever traveled to France, you likely associate éclairs with the oblong pastries found preciously lined up behind glass cases in patisseries all over the country. Well, today’s versions are a little less pristine, but a lot more fun. Seriously, how can you look at these little guys and not say, “Aww”? They’re miniature versions […]
I’ve never talked much about my own love story on the blog — not for any particular reason, it just never seemed that relevant. Which is funny, since meeting Adam was a defining moment of my life and one of the very best things that’s ever happened to me. We met at work and got […]
While she inspires a most amorous mood board, the original Queen of Hearts is anything but lovely. While some believe that the foul-tempered queen from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is a caricature of Queen Victoria, I like to think that she references Queen Margaret of The House of Lancaster. According to the Queen of Hearts’ Wiki page, “During the War of the […]
I’m really feeling the no-makeup makeup look these days — a natural, easygoing routine feels so right this season and fits my current schedule of going straight from working out -> work -> lunch with a friend -> preschool pickup. Of course, a prereq to pulling off this look is healthy, glowing skin, so I’ve […]
Valentine’s Day is right around the corner, and even if you’re in a romantic relationship, there’s no better time to shower your best girlfriends with love. This year, why not skip the usual box of chocolates and gift both yourself and your BFF with a chic, modern version of your elementary school friendship necklace. You know what to do: keep […]
Even though I was not raised in a Catholic home, I’ve always been drawn to the idea of saints. Recently I visited the Blanton Museum to take a peek at the 700-year-old Crusader Bible (on loan from the Morgan Library & Museum in New York). I was mesmerized by the way these ancient, colorful illustrations […]
As I read through Tarica Navarro’s interview answers, I’m reminded why we launched our “Entertaining With” series to begin with. Raised in Thailand (arguably one of the planet’s top culinary destinations), Tarica’s been a foodie most of her life. But it wasn’t until a fortuitous dinner in India that she realized the value of sharing in a meal with others, and also […]
It’s been a while since we posted a mood board as part of our Monochromatic Monday series, but since 2016 has us wide-eyed and hungry for inspiration, we thought now would be the perfect time to share a motif we’re loving: spots. You can’t beat the patterns found in nature, so in lieu of a […]
*photography by Kristen Kilpatrick Between recovering from the holidays and just-trying-to-stay-warm, hosting a dinner party may not be at the top of your to-do list this time of year. But if you think about it — given the cold weather and all our friends finally being back in town — there’s actually no better time to get cozy […]
2016, are you ready? ‘Cause we’re coming for you. I woke up this morning with new adventures and uncharted territory in my gut, knowing that the next 365 days hold immeasurable potential if I choose to live each one to its fullest. Now, I know that “resolutions” have a lot of haters out there, and I […]
December 31st! Can you believe it?! It’s been an absolutely fabulous holiday season — one of the best yet, to be sure — but all of the wining, dining and non-stop celebrating has me feeling that I’ve perhaps hit my limit on holiday indulgences. I’m gearing up for some serious clean eating in January, but […]
When Rifle Paper Co. throws a holiday party, you want to be on that invite list. Creative power couple Anna and Nathan Bond have spent the last seven years quietly building an illustrated empire, and this season they celebrated with an epic holiday party for their talented team. Based on Anna’s simple, playful illustrations, Rifle Paper’s […]
Editor’s Note: In mid-January I’ll be going on my first ski trip in years. What do I remember most vividly from my last time on the slopes? The out-of-this-world soreness I felt after Day 1. With that in mind, we begged Marnie to share some ways we can prepare our bodies for the intense quad […]
